I'm curious what the community thinks of avalanche post 6 ap update. I'm mostly curious about 1 ap aka style x-factor or the new always on one for 2 ap on Derrick Henry.
Do You Use Avalanche?
Don’t run it at all. Not willing to use up AP on Avalanche when I need it for my secondary/AKA edge rushers + I rather use the 3 X-Factor slots on my AKA edge rushers and a cornerback
I use it on Patrick Willis for 1 AP with free lurker and free crusher. I have lurker and tackle supreme on Ted Hendricks which is my user for 1 AP. The other 4 AP is spent on my secondary
I sacrificed 1 ap on avalanche for Patrick Willis on kickoffs. Other that he never saw the field but the potential of stealing a posessjon was worth it
with Henry as sub lb, I also put him at back up fs, deactivated Willis, and took off one UF from the dline and have it on all game
and now on kickoffs it’s not lit up so you don’t know where the avalanche is coming from
worth it imo
I think if you user him it is worth it but you have to have good organic line pressure
I loved having it on Hitman. I built Henry and I’m saving him for once I’ve bought a few GT’s and hopefully that will save me some AP on D. If I wasn’t already running Chad Johnson’s 2AP ability I’d have room but Chad is playing too good at the moment to remove that.
Ive never used it .
Early response seem to indicate it's unpopular. I don't run it because I'm bad at hit sticks.
I’m not going to lie - it was pretty clutch on hit man and I miss it. Guys know how to find holes and avoid every knockout you can put on the field - but very few take that Xfactor into consideration. It’s won me multiple games.

Exactly and if you pair it with a few more crushers on your defense then that ability really shines. I have crusher on 3 guys and avalanche on Willis and I’m getting forced fumbles all the time . Tackle supreme acts like enforcer on Ted Hendricks And he has 4 forced fumbles in 9 games played so far.
